Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew versus Colts front seven: In last year’s first meeting against the Jaguars, the Colts controlled Maurice Jones-Drew in the first half. MJD broke off a 59-yard touchdown run on his first touch of the third quarter and that score helped Jacksonville to a 22-17 win at Lucas Oil Stadium. MJD has struggled with less than three yards per carry in 2013 but he is looking for his fourth straight game of at least 100 rushing yards against the Colts.

Colts rushing attack versus the Jaguars front seven: Ahmad Bradshaw announced after the 49ers game that him and Trent Richardson were a two-headed monster. Richardson now has a full week with the Colts playbook and with Bradshaw missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Richardson could be the lead back on Sunday.

Through the first 3 games the Colts are averaging over 25 carries/game and 4.5 YPC. The last time the Colts did that over a 3 game stretch was in 1984, the Colts first year in Indy. (I was 8, and I'm sure some people here were younger if they were even born yet)_________________Colts draft picks:

I was 4

sorry usually let you create it, but wanted to get some talk going early.

Pumped to see Richardson with a full work load, hopefully he plays great and there is no talk about him and Bradshaw splitting carries._________________Colts Roster/Cap 2015-2018

I was 2 in 1984 but not a fan yet. In any event I hope tomorrow's game doesn't prove to be a trap for us. Jacksonville's a bad 0 and 3 but they're a divisional rival and they'll be at home so they shouldn't be taken lightly._________________A solar eclipse. The cosmic ballet goes on.

Hoping Bradshaw's ok. Hope to see a big game from richardson, it's his moment for sure. I'd like to see the Colts become more dominate in their wins like they were in SF. Divisional rival though so more likely then not it will be close. Come out with a +10 point win and injury free and I'll be satisfied._________________

I also was 4. The one thing I'm hoping to see this game is a carry over of defense. I really want to see this team become a physical dominating D. I've been wishing for this since we brought in Dungy (too bad we never turned into the Tampa D)._________________

One of our Next Gen superstars, Trent Richardson, is going to have 147 rushing yards and two touchdowns for the Indianapolis Colts this week. Richardson gave us a small taste with a rushing touchdown on his first Colts carry of the week. Richardson might have the game to himself, too, as Ahmad Bradshaw was not seen at practice on Friday. Go ahead and give Richardson 36 receiving yards, too. With a solid running attack, look for Andrew Luck to become more of a Troy Aikman or Tom Brady in the early years quarterback. That's not a knock. Just don't expect Luck to put up Peyton Manning-like numbers in Indy as the team now focuses more on winning than passing statistics.

What kind of game are you anticipating from T-Rich? What would be considered good game for him to you guys?

I hope he just goes off, Im soo sick of looking around the forum at all the Colts hate. I just stay out of most of it but, jeez its quite annoying.
